lol my friend bought his first betta and i scolded him for putting the betta in a small bowl XD he said he didnt plan on getting anything larger so i gave him a bunch of small java ferns, java moss, and a lamp for the plants and to heat up the tank a bit XD i love bettas ^^

My bettas are transported by the cups (I was there on the un-packing day, and I got to take first pick.) The water was very clean, and the bettas were actually very happy looking- some of the males had blown bubblenests. It's sad to see how the bettas are neglected at the pet store. I'm just glad my bettas aren't transported in those teeny bags.

Wow. Who knew?

Those two photos of the Betta bags made me literally gasp. I have a feeling that is why walmart Bettas so often have torn fins and are barely alive.

well walmart's bettas are actually transported a bit better they are transported in cups rather than these plastic bags. And when they get to the store they usually get bought quickly, all the good ones get taken so all the sick looking ones stay behind I usually go at night when they just put them out so I get a good pick.

Oh, I thought they would be transported in bags and THEN put in the cups. IDK.
